This is a fully automated extracting tool. This is not a WinRAR or WinZIP replacement but quite a useful util when you want to extract large quantum of archives. The program makes a queue of every rar added to the list and extract them one by one. This way you can peacefully play your games (or sleep) while extracting. It also have optional functions to cleanup (removing archives after extract). You should try it, it is free and you’ll get a notice when a program update is available, that way you’ll always have the latest version. Other functions like minimize to tray, thread priority etc. are also available.
Current version is: v1.5.0 build: 1909
Latest:
- Fixed support for Windows 2003 server and Windows Home Server (captionbuttons messing up)
- Added support for password protected files! (With a simple timeout)
- Added right-click option for “Extract to destination” on found-archives
- Added right-click option for “Rescan same directory” on scan
- Created a SFV-checked option for Autounpacker so it will not rescan same SFV file again
Features:
- Zip-support added!
- Possible to add archives in archives directly to the queue
- Added option for ignoring the found window and directly extract everything it find
- Made the cleanup functions smarter, and fixed a small bug in the renaming feature
- Now possible to save unfinished extraction queue to file on exit and reload it on startup (or a crash)
- Logfile support added
- Also possible to rename the directory you’ve extracted from
- Possible to pause/resume on Unpacker & Autocopy
- AutoCopy can now operate in quiet mode
- Possible to set thread priority
- Autoscan directories by given interval
- Check autoscanned archives against the SFV file
- Automatic adding to queue when archive is equal to SFV, so you don’t have to
- Recursive scan of harddrive anywhere in Explorer for archives
- Archives can be queued for process
- Each archive is extracted one by one
- Possible (optional) to clean up the archive files after use

Is there an option to extract to a user selected directory? I want to unpack my rar-files to another hard drive to increase the speed, but I can’t find out how.
January 7th, 2006 at 12:16:01
SirPack-A-Lot: I haven’t implemented that into the program yet. But if you have .sfv files you can use the AutoUnpacker function to extract it else where.
I will add it to the todolist.

Nice proggy. Had a heck of a time finding something that does this. Thanks a bunch.
January 13th, 2006 at 16:57:47
Is there a way to clean up specific files. For example: I want to delete the .sfv file after extracting multipart rar files but I don’t want to use the option to “Remove all but these extensions” becuase alot of zip files contain rar files but if I add rar to the list it won’t remove the rar files after extraction of the multipart rar’s.
January 14th, 2006 at 18:33:01
janxster: I haven’t got such a function installed yet. But I might add it in the near future.
January 30th, 2006 at 23:44:44
It’s sooooooo wonderful! Thank you, this is exactly what I was looking for! ^_^
February 3rd, 2006 at 06:01:06
Dear Lars,
Great program, thanks heaps for making this freely available! I’ve spent a few hours looking for sth like this today and the AutoUnpacker did the trick for me. Yay!
One question:
Is it possible to make the context menu entries (’scan/watch this folder…’ optional? I personally don’t need them and they take up a lot of screen real estate.
Cheers!
February 25th, 2006 at 01:39:53
Neat program.
March 14th, 2006 at 16:36:07
does the prog have facility to accept/input a password; some rar files require a password to be entered to extract the files within. Or will the prog just ignore any password-protected rar files?
March 14th, 2006 at 23:06:45
Repo: Password protected archives will be ignored with a message & failed icon.
April 7th, 2006 at 07:03:19
Hi,
Thanks for the wonderful program.
I have a request to be implemented (if possible).
Can you add on option (especially for RAR archive) to uncompress in anewly created directory based on the file name?
A few other programs out there (but nowhere near as good as this one) can handle this option so I would think is not too hard to implement.
Thanks and keep up the good work.
April 19th, 2006 at 14:59:22
Fantastic program! One thing that would make it near perfect would be PAR-support. Hoping to see that very soon

This seems like a great program but I can’t get it to run under Windows 2003 Server SP1/R2 no matter what I do.
Any ideas?
November 14th, 2006 at 19:02:37
Martin Edelius: I’ve just tested it on a W2k3 server and it works perfectly. Could you please explain further?
November 21st, 2006 at 14:14:00
Good program!
Is it possible for the prog to copy for example an .nfo file contained in the folder with the rar-archive to the directory where you want the extracted file aswell? (or all “external” files in the folder, excepting the rar-archive itself)
December 4th, 2006 at 12:08:49
A few questions.
Why does the unpacker have to lauch another copy of itself to unpack the files.
I have zone alarm and the software constantly tries to access the internet to check for updates as I Unpack.
When this happens I check the task Manager and found multiple instances running.
I agree with the above regarding having alternative directory to extract to. i.e Incoming and Unpacked.
Perhaps a global variable which will be the directory to extract to.
Any way to speed up scan. When doing a large directory of rars it can take a long time to scan.
Perhaps an option to quick scan which will be equivalent to Directory Scan and then launch background scan for further information.

This is really nice, but I hope you will add a way to extract it to a user selected directory.
January 7th, 2007 at 12:23:19
Hi large.
Sorry for the slow response.
When I try to start Unpacker or Autoextract they start up (I see them in Task manager) but the process just dies after 4-5 seconds w/o any error or information - neither on screen nor in the event log.
I’ve run Microsoft update on this machine just yesterday and restarted it several times after installation of UnPacker.
March 31st, 2007 at 22:41:06
Excellent program, but it desperately needs the ability to change the directory to extract to, even if not on a file-by-file basis. Once that get implemented, I’ll happily uninstall the rest of my decompression software. Until then keep up the great work!
April 15th, 2007 at 15:48:11
I like the program, nice job
One Question: Why does it, everytime you scan a dir, ‘call home’
What i mean is it contacts a Akamai server 217.77.138.134
Why???
April 16th, 2007 at 05:31:07
doober: It downloads the file http://lars.werner.no/unpacker/version.txt and checks against the version number. If you don’t want it todo such an action, please turn autoupdate feature off.
April 26th, 2007 at 15:01:11
Hei, har lagd et lignende program, det heter SCRU (Scene Release Unpacker). Det fungerer hovedsakelig som ditt, men ble utviklet for å fungere sammen med µTorrent. Du har nok en del ekstra funksjoner da
Kameraten min og jeg har en server hvor vi laster ned tv-serier/filmer/spill via RSS i µTorrent. Hele nedlastingsprosessen og utpakkinga går da helautomatisk, det er digg 
Viktigste funksjonene med SCRU:
* Overvåking av mappe (automatisk utpakking).
* Destinasjon er dynamisk, avhengig av hva som pakkes ut.
Det vil nok aldri komme på høyde med ditt, men det fungerer ypperlig til det bruket det var ment til. Uansett, du kan jo prøve det og si hva du synes
April 26th, 2007 at 16:27:55
Vidar: Det er jo kult da
Må være behov for noe slikt ja. Flere jeg kjenner hadde nok brukt det, hvis den ikke krevde .Net frameworken 
April 26th, 2007 at 17:10:38
Hva er det som er så pes med .NET framework’en egentlig? Har aldri skjønt meg på folk som klager på den. “Install-and-fuhgeddaboudit” liksom, hehe.
.NET er jo en gave fra himmelen til oss utviklere
April 26th, 2007 at 20:33:26
Vidar: .NET er en murstein som installeres på sluttbrukers maskin. Helt klart ikke en fordel. Først nå vil .NET bli utnyttet fullt ut, siden Vista inneholder .NET 3.0
Gavepakke og gavepakke, templates for everyone. Kjekk for raske resultat

Hi Lars,
As mentioned by somebody before there are issues with Win2003 Server and SP2. I had this running on Win2003 R2 with SP1 and it just worked fine. Now when I upgraded to SP2 it doesnt run naymore. Any chance you can look inot this? It will be a shame to not get this great program working on the latest service pack.
Thanks.
October 1st, 2007 at 16:28:07
Just to follow up on my previous post - Win2003 Server R2 with SP2 seems to work just fine (I have tested this ona brand new Virtual Server). However, in my case it will not work. It seems that some software I have installed on my server did change something which will stop Unpacker from running. All other programs run fine. Is just this one. Lars if you have a bebug version or something that you want me to try just let me know and I will work with you to get this program going again.
October 3rd, 2007 at 10:15:40
Hi MnM, I’ve been giving reports of this error on one occasion earlier (Close friend of mine had the problem). We did not find any solution to it since the program just died (He didn’t want a debugger installed on the server). His solution was to reinstall w2k3, and it work afterwards that. You might have ran microsoft “lockdown” tool or something, it set restrictions in many way that might stop the software.
I’ve been using this util exclusive on a w2k3 server for quite a while (with autounpacker) and I don’t have any problem running it even with SP2.
Anyway you could try to install the http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/devtools/debugging/default.mspx
Then open the unpacker executable, and make it run. The log might say something to me
October 26th, 2007 at 02:52:07
nice feature that i would like add would be to delete Sample folders or any folder that has a video file in it that is would delete
on the auto delete list of except files how about add folders
November 2nd, 2007 at 16:35:09
Hey there Lars!
This tool is EXCELLENT!
I unrared and unzipped all the cr@p that was in my 1TB disks!!
Especially movies and utilities mixed up or left there unrar cause I was bored! Great job indeed!!
Any plans for a new improved version soon, if needed?
Thanx a lot again, god bless!

Hey Lars!
Very nice Tool! works pretty fine.
Is there an option to delete sfv files after extraction?
best regards
markymark
November 29th, 2007 at 12:28:04
Is there a way to select the destination directory?
December 14th, 2007 at 14:02:46
Are you planing to update this further? A feature I would like to see is to move extracted file up 1 directory. The reason for this is that when you download a tv season, it comes in a folder for the season, and 24 sub-folders (1 for each episode). Unpacker works great, but after unpacking all 24 episodes of a season lets say, i have to go into all 24 folders and cut and paste each episode I just extracted out of each one. would be nice for it to be extracted to the main season directory instead of those sub folders.
December 15th, 2007 at 17:02:34
Mike, a solution for you would be to search for “*.avi” inside the folder with all the episodes. then, you can cut+paste the found files in the root of the directory. that’s what i do in cases like that
unfortunately, it looks like this great software is not gonna be updated anymore…
December 16th, 2007 at 21:02:25
Solutions and alternatives are available. There will be updates on this program, dunno when. Got a ton of other projects and much work on them too.
Currently I’m working on a complete revised version of StackCopy so please hang on for that update
January 9th, 2008 at 01:15:29
I have been using this program for years and I just wanted to drop by and say thanks. I really could not be without it (from all the users out there, I must be the one who uses this tool the most).. Thank you so much for this!
Ps. It would be a great thing to have a multiprocessor support and support for 7zip.

Just found this nice program and trying it out. First feature enhancement that came in mind was an ability to choose sort order in the Progress queue.
Great program altough!
May 12th, 2008 at 11:10:17
Great application. I would like to see further development for support for password protected archives. If you would like, I could offer some assistance in this area. It has been quite a long time since any further development has been done on this application, but there is definitely potential.
May 30th, 2008 at 21:57:05

I’ve used unpacker for as long as I can remember - incredible program. However, I can’t get it to run on Windows Home Server (Windows 2003 Server) either. When I try to run it, absolutely nothing happens. It doesn’t show in the task manager, nor do I ever see any windows indicating that it’s even trying to run.
November 9th, 2008 at 17:39:34
I gave up on Win2k3 server and went back to Vista. However, I’ve noticed that when using the WatchFolders AutoUnpacker, it doesn’t exctract Zip files. It does a perfect job with the Rars on it’s own, but it bypasses any Zips.
November 22nd, 2008 at 17:35:47
I would like to enhance this product with support for password protected archives, and custom sorting.
If I could get a copy of the sources, I have a bit of free time to develop on this product.
Thank you.

I have 52 rar files to unpack. When I right click on the directory which contains them it shows 1 of 52. How do I list 2, 3, 4, and so on to 52? Am I just stupid?
Thank you,
Dave
December 4th, 2008 at 07:03:04
Dave:
Those 52 files are all part of the same archive. Only the primary file shows up in the extractor as it is all that is necessary to automatically extract all 52 in order.

I haven’t tested yet, but has the Watch-Folder been fixed so that it now extracts and deletes properly from the watched folders?
January 26th, 2009 at 07:19:14
pinkISH: Thank you, but that wasn’t the intension
The Unpacker was created to extract night-builds backups from my server. After a while several friends realize that it worked real good on other software. That is why the options in the this program is a little “different” than others extractors.
malaki86:
The fix “Created a SFV-checked option for Autounpacker so it will not rescan same SFV file again” will create a ###Autounpacker.SFV.OK### file. If this file is found it will ignore the SFVs in that directory.
I guess that will fix the problem of the uTorrent going into redownload because of sfv-file is missing.
Did you test the “extract to” right-click option on the “Found archives” too?
And did the password dialog work for you?
January 29th, 2009 at 21:18:38
Hi,
i just found this program and have some newbie questions.
1. Does this work on tar files also?
2. Autounpacker does not seem to do anything although Unpacker will detect the files in the archive. I have sfv check disabled as I dont have sfv files in all archives.
I found the option to uncheck the sfv check in unpacker, but it seems that the autounpacker still looks for it and doesnt trigger on archives.
January 30th, 2009 at 13:35:01
hindibuff:
1. No tar support, sorry
2. Autounpacker just checks the SFV files that are OUTSIDE of an archive. Others are ignored
The option to uncheck the SFV check needs to be disabled in the Autounpacker rather than Unpacker. If you are uncertain it doesn’t check it anymore restart AutoUnpacker.

Thanks for your great program, I’ve been using it for ages and I only found out today you have released a new version, so I updated from 1.3 to 1.5 and I have a question to ask you about the registry entries.
In the old version you have the registry entries for the right click menu “Unpack using www.unpacker, and “scan with autounpacker”, which I edited to make the unpack shorter (menu is too long otherwise, for my liking), and the scan one I deleted cause I don’t need it.
But now I can’t seem to find these registry entries anymore with this new version. Could you let me where or how I can edit the right menu to shorten the name and delete the scan entry now please?
March 26th, 2009 at 05:04:50
Odd, the autounpacker doesn’t seem to do anything for me on WHS. Unpacker finds the archives - but autounpacker just does a quick scan and nothing. Files not unpacked…nothing.
Should a window come up or something occur?
March 26th, 2009 at 20:42:58
Ignore my comment - and apologies. The archive I was testing it with was screwed up and was what was causing the issue. Great program!
April 22nd, 2009 at 19:37:50
Great piece of software. I found a bug that you might or might not know about. I’m assuming it has to do with your way of checking the file extension on files.
I have one archive that is called part01.rar - part01.r29. That works fine. A different archive is named part02.rar - part02.r29. Unpacker recognises that the archive exists but doesn’t add it to the list.
I apologise if this is by design. Thanks for releasing it for free.

May 11th, 2009 at 23:09:21
Great product, im currently running it in windows 7 64bit, i have come accross a couple of issues:
1) When you try to open the program it sometimes dosnt open you have to kill the service then reopen.
2) after extraction of .rar files, the unpacker system process locks the file\folder preventing it from being removed.
Is ther a way to get it to remove same files e.g movie.bla.bla-sample.avi ? generally located in a movile\sample folder ?
Thanks and once again, great app.

Is there anyway to remove the options from the right click menu?

There isn’t a option for it in the application. You could use regedit and remove these keys:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell\!!UnPacker
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Folder\shell\!!UnPacker
Remove also the !Autounpacker directories when you’re at it!

Great proggie!
Password function works but needs to be re-entered for every Rar selected, even if all the Rar’s selected as a group for unRar’ing use the same password.
Is there someway for UnPacker to remember the password for all the rar’s selected?
Thank you!

great app that i used alot. But since today, every time i start the program, it stays minimized and i can´t directly access it. No matter if i´m rebooting my system or reinstalling the application. Any hints?

h0nk:
Use regedit.exe to check the key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\www.Unpacker\www.Unpacker\Settings\HideToTray
If you don’t care about the setup you have, just delete HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\www.Unpacker and restart the application. Then set it up again.

Is there a way to get it to remove the sample folder and the file within the sample folder?
I think this is the best utility program i have come across, thank you.

I don’t know what sample-folder you are talking about?
But Unpacker does not support any external post-operation functions. If you have problems with large masses of the same folder like the ones called “sample”, just use Search (Win+F) and search for “sample”, press CTRL-A for all and press delete.

I believe I found a bug in Unpacker 1.5.0. It can delete an encrypted archive without extracting it. You can reproduce the problem by following these steps:
In Unpacker settings, check “Cleanup archive files after extraction”.
In WinRAR, create an archive containing one file. Click the “advanced” tab and set a password. Check “encrypt filenames”.
Put the archive in a new folder.
Scan the folder with Unpacker. Extract all.
Click the “close” button, or enter an incorrect password, or let it timeout.
Unpacker will delete the file.

You never answered the question asking if there is a way to extract multiple rar files using the same password without having to enter it for each file.

Sorry no, the password option was a “quick hack” that I’ve made to it. It might be supported in the future…

Nice program Lars - I wish I’d known about this before - a lot of time would have been saved. I’d like to support the request by those wanting the option to extract to a specified directory - cheerz.

There is a nasty little bug/error on programs crash. the crash start when aunpacker scans folder then i guess the unpack-er has trouble with long name or something cause it tries to create a blank (no name and i dont know how windows allows that) folder that has the file that it extracted in it. but funny part is you cant delete the no name folder normally i had to use unlock-er app to remove the no name folder since windows would let me with normal means. then there is a nasty memory leak when it tries to rescan the folder that has that no name folder causing it to dump its core and pop up a error report to send out ( which i allowed it to). once you send the report the auto unpacker app eats up all my memory and i have to kill the process.

Can you queue up .ISO files through Unpacker in the same way ?
I’ve tried but it can’t find them as archives……

Bit-O-Help please …. I installed v1.5.0 build: 1909 on SBS 2003. I’m using autoUnpacker to scan I:\Shows\ with a destination of same folder I:\Shows\ . I thought this would extract any .rar into the same folder it was in, but it’s not doing anything. I opened Unpacker and scanned I:\Shows\ and it found 6 files and I extracted them. What am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance!!!
